A qualified person to help keep up with the RPMs while spraying the product.

SAFETY FIRST. The engine will be running during this procedure, so be very careful with all moving parts like pulleys and fans, also watch out for hot surfaces from your engine. Make sure you take all the safety precautions. Read up on the product and warnings.
Doing this service will help you with start ups, improve performance and MPG, and reduce emissions.
It is important to use good quality gas and oil so your engine does not build too much carbon overtime.
Work with a clean engine.
If possible use an air compressor to blow away any debris sitting around the engine.
If you want to do a deeper cleaning, use this product for a second time following the same procedure after 1000 miles, only if you are not yet in the habit of doing this every 10K miles.
The vehicle should be at operating temperature when starting to spray the product. So warm up the vehicle before you start.
Loosen the connection on the engine side of the filter and insert the straw tours the engine side. Then tighten the connection again. You do not want any debris going into your engine.
If you decide to work with old boots, disconnect the passenger side boot from the centrifuge and connect the spare piece from the centrifuge.
Ask somebody you trust to help you revving the engine. Make sure the person understands that the RPMs are not supposed to go past 2000 while you are spraying. Ask the person in the car to try to stay between 1500 RPM and 2000 RPM, but do not try to compensate when the car stalls a little when spraying. Unless they feel the car is about to shut down, but do not exceed 3500 RPM.
Spray on the line after the filters, the product will go through the turbos and then the top of the valves, cleaning everything on the way. Spray away from the filters.
When spraying only spray upright or upside down, the manufacturer recommends not to spray sideways.
Do short, 1 second, sprays a second apart.
Alternate between sides until the bottle is empty. Then rev the engine up to 3500 RPM 3 times.
When the car settles down, let it idle for a minute and shut it off.
Wait for about an hour and drive the car at highway speeds for about 10 minutes.
It is great to use fuel injection system cleaners regularly as I show on my video
• How to clean your fuel...
When it comes to the valves, you are only cleaning the bottom of the valves. Following this procedure will help you clean the top of the valves.
Normally you would have to take the intake apart to be able to clean the top of the valves in a GDI engine, but with this product you can keep your system in good shape by doing this maintenance item at least every 10K miles and doing it yourself.
Do not spray this product on a Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF). This car in particular, Mercedes S550 does not have a MAF sensor. The 2017 Mercedes S550 has a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor (MAP). So if you do have a Mass sensor, spray away from the Mass sensor.

Jose! You did it again! You are the only one in KZbin who clearly describe and show how to use CRC cleaner on M278 engine. I have been searching/asking for years with no luck. Thanks a lot for your time and for this clear video. Keep up to good work. The only difficult task is that spraying half of the bottle to one side and other half to other side. It is kind of difficult to feel that we reached to half of the bottle. I am looking forward to seeing your next videos. I hope you will show us replacing thermostat and water pump on this engine. Another tough job is replacing turbo cooling hoses.

@@lawrenceralph7481 thank you so much for your comment. I didn’t really check the valves before or after. I just know the product works after years of application. I have used it in many different cars, and so have other subscribers that asked how to use it on an M278 engine. So basically it’s just experience and trust with the product.

Thank you Jose! I’ll work on mine this weekend with the same exact product. It seems very straight forward. I like your ingenious contraption as the air going to the engine remains filtered with the filter box.

Hey Jose, I saw a video of many Mercedes M157/M278 owners removing Oil Control Solenoid (valve). Which is used by Mercedes to reduce the oil pressure to the engine to improve MPG. After removing, many noticed significant improvement in engine performance (better idling, smooth gear shift, quieter engine and faster oil temp at cold starts). Despite removing the Oil control solenoid, it still limits the oil pressure to maximum of 60psi (which means, that removing it wont disrupt the oil supply by uneven flow). I couldn't find any negative to remove the connector. However, I am not an expert with such things. There are numerous forums and videos about people doing it. And also some studies of people monitoring oil flow and found detaching it to be better for engine. All the things mentioned are from different forums and sources and not my own. In theory, quicker oil flow at higher psi without valve to the engine equals better performance, more lubrication maybe slightly worse MPG. Its safe as it still limits oil flow (at a higher psi) without oil control valve. In my opinion, worth it. You input will be appreciated. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6a9e4Z9g52kkJY

Thank you so much for your comment. What I think of the subject? In my personal opinion... I really do not think they put that pump there just for emissions. Without the solenoid you are disabling the pump to control the pressure that goes to the engine, and if you are in a cold place, in a cold start you may be wearing the engine faster and the viscosity of the oil will go down quicker, so I think oil changes should be done much more frequently if this procedure is done. I also think that if you see a difference in performance is because something else is wrong in the engine, I don't think it happens with a good engine. But I guess we would have to see if somebody with a brand new, good engine did it and see what happened. If you ever get another issue inside your engine and you have full pressure the entire time, I think you would cause more issues. You can't compare an older pump with the new design, so you can't question why engines didn't have the solenoid before. The pump it self has a pressure relieve valve set to 60psi, you are right. This is a mechanical safety. So when the pressure gets to that point it will release the excess pressure. So long story short, I trust the engineering involved with the pump. I would not change a thing, but this is just my opinion. As the guy says on that video you send me, it all depends on what you want to do.

Any harm in just sliding the canister tubes into the turbos? Has a bit of extra air coming though but makes the procedure a lot easier. Seems like you could loosen the back clip just enough to slide in the tube and then tighten them back down a bit. A great video idea would be coving the w222 maintenance intervals with your honest opinion. Anyways thanks for all the great content!

Thank you so much for sharing. I don’t really think it’s a fear test or even a “real test”. We don’t know how bad each one of the parts were. So to prove something like that it would have to be with many different parts, many times done over and over again and then come up to a conclusion like that.

@josecitomarin 4 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for your comment. With yours is a little different because you have a MASS air flow (MAF) sensor. But you can take the MAF sensor out and then spray right there. While the MAF is out, clean that too with a MAF sensor cleaner. If you need more help doing that email me and I’ll help you further. You can also use the online manual alldata diy. You can get all of the info you need for any repairs and maintenance on your car. I have a link on my channel

Thank you so much for your comments Troy. I was going to suggest to spray first. I’m glad you did. It could be that you had some carbon build up. Did they say if you have a misfire and which cylinder?
